Whitby Beach is Beautiful!
Caicos Cottage on Whitby Beach is a beautiful place! Literally just steps from the sand, every window on the back of the cottage has a breathtaking view. The property owner was very prompt and courteous with questions. Mac, the local manager, was waiting at Bellefield Landing when we arrived, and efficiently showed us everything we needed to know about the property. The freshwater pool was absolutely fantastic! There were a few times when the surf was too rough to swim (due to 2 hurricanes), and the pool was invaluable during those times. The master bed was incredibly comfortable, with amazing morning beach views. Breakfasts on the covered patio are something we won’t forget!
Parts of the cottage are definitely showing their age. Some walls are cracking with plaster peeling. Master bath towel bar kept falling off the wall. Things like that. Nothing major - just little things.
What was more of a concern was the separate and additional charge for air conditioning. It was very hot and stagnant during our stay, so much so that even the local residents were commenting on it. Heat indexes were 100-105 every day with no evening breezes, and very little throughout the day. We had to use the AC quite a bit just to maintain some level of comfort. Still have not received the extra bill for that. Concerned about how much that is going to be.
Would we return? Absolutely! And we hope to as soon as we can. When you visit, bring a lot of no-see-um repellent!! They were bad!
